Title: Improvements in Machinery or Apparatus for Dividing Gelatinous Gunpowder into Particles or Grains.
Inventor: WADSWORTH GEORGE HENRY
Filed: 1907-10-19
Granted: 1908-03-05
Abstract: 23,112. Wadsworth, G. H. Oct. 19. Explosives.-Relates to apparatus for granulating gelatinous nitrocellulose explosives. The mass is placed in a vessel 2 and forced out into threads through a die 3 by means of a plunger 15. The threads are cut by a cutter 10 rotating at a high speed. The cutter consists of knives 14 arranged over a groove 12 along the circumference of a wheel. The plunger 15 is pressed down by compressed fluid admitted to a cylinder 17, and is returned quickly after its. down-stroke by compressed fluid admitted to the cylinder 20. The ports 19, 23 of the cylinders 17, 20 connect with valve-chests 35, 24 ; the valves of the valve-chest 35 are normally kept closed by springs 39, and are operated by cams 40 on a rocking-shaft 41 ; the valves 26, 27 of the valve-chest 24 are coupled by a connecting-rod 31. The two sets of valves are controlled simultaneously by means of a lever 33. When the lever 33 is turned to the position indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 12, the inlet valve 36 to the cylinder 17 and the outlet valve 24 of the cylinder 20 are opened, and the plunger 15 is therefore forced down. Before the end of its stroke, a chain 53, attached to some point 55 on it, releases the spring catch 49 ; the lever 33 is thereupon returned to the original position by a spring 50, the position of the valves is reversed, and the plunger is quickly set back.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Speed-controlling Apparatus for Electric Motors.
Filed: 1907-11-29
Granted: 1908-07-16
Abstract: 26,404. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, [Siemens-Schuckertwerke]. Nov. 29. Motor control systems; switches.-The application of a brake to an electric motor, such as is used for hoists or elevators &c., is governed by an electromagnet, which is in turn governed by a switch operated, directly or through a relay, by a speed governor. At an excessive speed, the spindle c<1> Fig. 1, of the governor c driven by the motor m, rises and lifts a switch arm s, thus breaking the circuit through a solenoid e, which ordinarily holds a weighted brake arm g off the brake drum b. The braking effect of this arm is made light enough to act only as a check to the motor, and a separate similar arm and solenoid without the switch s may be used to stop the motor. In a modification, one weight g<1>, Fig. 4, is dropped for slight excess speeds ; while, for great excess, the governor spindle pushes up a projection s' on the first switch s, to lift a second switch s<2> and thus drop a second weight g<2> on to the arm, thereby increasing the braking action. -

Title: Rotary Explosion Motor.
Inventor: COLONNA MARIO
Filed: 1907-12-24
Granted: 1908-07-02
Abstract: 28,341. Colonna, M. Dec. 24. Movable-abutment type with abutments sliding outwards. The abutment of a rotary explosion engine consists of a hollow slide in which the ignition takes place, thereby separating two parts of the slide and allowing the passage of the products of combustion into the cylinder. Through the covers 2 of a cylinder 1 passes a shaft 3, on which is mounted an eccentric 4 surrounded by a loose ring 5. A hollow slide 7 is caused to bear upon this ring by means of springs 6. The slide is made in two parts 19, 20, the former being provided with a base 22, and the latter with a cover 21 in which is seated a valve 18. The two parts may slide one against the other and so establish communication by the opening 23 between the interior of the slide and the cylinder. A two-way cock is connected with the cylinder by a conduit 15 and serves to communicate in turn with the outlet canal 16 by a channel 26, and with the conduit 17, leading to the hollow slide, by a channel 25. During the first revolution, air and gas are drawn into the cylinder through passages 13, 12 respectively. The second revolution forces the mixture through the channels 25, 17 and the valve 18 into the hollow slide 7 ; at the same time air is drawn into the cylinder through the pipe 13, the gas-inlet valve being suitably actuated by a cam or other means. Connexion is then made by the channel 26 between the conduits 16, 15, and ignition takes place inside the slide by means of an electrical igniting device, the portion 20 of the slide thereby sliding against the portion 19, leaving on opening 23 for the exploded mixture to escape into the cylinder. The third revolution expels the air from the cylinder, while the fourth revolution expels the products of combustion, at the same time drawing cool air into the cylinder through the pipe 13. The two-way cock may be replaced by a piston valve or any suitable device, actuated by a cam or otherwise.
